A Personal Note to Microsoft November 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

Dear Microsoft Customer Support,

I purchased a notebook PC with Windows Vista pre-installed on it in October 2008.  I did not WANT Windows Vista, I wanted Windows XP.  I was, however, informed that I could only purchase Vista at that time as it was the latest and best operating system from Microsoft.  Now, one year later, I see that Vista is being replaced by Windows 7 for free, though,  I do not qualify since I was an early adopter.

I do not like Microsoft products.  I will go out of my way to avoid using Microsoft products.  This latest fiasco with Vista reinforces my thoughts on Microsoft products.  The Vista replacement program can be roughly compared to pouring salt into an open, festering wound.

I doubt I will hear anything back from you.  In fact, if you are not planning on offering me a free “upgrade” to a functioning operating system, I would prefer to not hear from you.

Regards,
Anne Dixon-Mahatoo

Today is the day.

Blog Action Day

Make a change. Take a stand. Climate change is real and it is here. I challenge you to make a change to your lifestyle today and commit to it.

Use less plastic. Walk when you can, drive when you must. Recycle. Have one meatless day each week. Challenge grocery stores to offer local produce without packaging. Turn off your lights. Turn down your thermostat. Compost. Target no waste for one day each week. Watch the video Home by Jan Arthus Bertrand. Watch it again with your kids. Recycle.

Roël Photography Dogs June 22, 2009 at 1:56 pm

If you are a “dog person” you will understand what I mean when I say there is nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long day.  The little guy (or maybe your dog is a big guy) just wants to let you know he missed you and can’t wait to play and maybe have a tummy rub.

Roël over at Roël Photography (who also happens to be my husband and my partner in doggie parenting Zeus) is now officially in the dog photography business.  If you have a few spare minutes and would enjoy seeing some adorable dogs, you can check it out at www.roelphoto.com/dogs.

A few posts back, while the snow was still blanketing us here in Stratford, I mentioned business directory listings provided by many city websites. What I failed to include in that post was links to specific city sites for your convenience. Without further delay, here are some convenient links:
